What sizes of beverage tubs are available?

Large and medium island beverage tubs available. Both feature insulated ice wells with drainage systems. Snack shelving accessories available to maximize merchandising around the tub.

How long does ice stay frozen?

Insulated construction keeps ice frozen throughout the business day. Built-in drain systems allow easy cleanup at end of day. Heavy-gauge steel construction ensures durability in high-traffic areas.

Can snack shelving be added to beverage tubs?

Yes, accessory snack shelving mounts to beverage tubs to display chips, candy, and grab-and-go items around the ice well. Maximizes impulse sales in high-traffic checkout areas.

Where should beverage tubs be placed?

Ideal placement near checkout lanes as impulse purchase displays. Island design allows customer access from all sides. Also effective near cooler entrances and high-traffic areas.

Are shooter risers included?

Bird's Nest shooter risers sold separately as accessories. Risers display mini liquor bottles on ice within the beverage tub for impulse sales. Stainless steel construction for food safety.

What size commercial beer tub do I need?

For c-store impulse zones and event retail, our medium commercial beer tub (54" L × 28" W) holds roughly 6–8 cases of bottles on ice. High-traffic locations doing 50+ drink sales per day should step up to the large beer tub (65" L × 47¾" W), which holds 12+ cases plus 8 integrated snack shelves for chips and salty cross-merchandise. Both sizes are island-style for 360° customer access.

Are CDW commercial beer tubs insulated?

Yes. Every commercial beer tub uses a foam-insulated stainless steel ice well that keeps beer cold and ice frozen through a full business day. Built-in drains let staff empty the well at close-out in under a minute. Heavy-gauge steel construction handles daily restocking and high-traffic retail abuse.

Do commercial beer tubs ship assembled?

Yes — every commercial beer tub ships fully assembled with locking casters installed. Roll it off the truck, position it on your sales floor, and start merchandising. No tools required. Most orders ship from our USA facility within 2–3 weeks; expedited freight is available for seasonal beer promotions and event retail.

Island beverage tub vs. cooler-door merchandising

Two ways to sell cold single-serve drinks, with very different placement economics.

Island beverage tub vs. cooler-door merchandising
Consideration	Island beverage tubWe manufacture this	Cooler-door merchandising
Placement	Anywhere on the floor or in an end cap	Fixed cooler wall
Power required	None — ice-filled	Yes
Branding surface	Full custom wrap and header	Door clings only
Best fit	Seasonal and promotional drink pushes	Everyday chilled assortment

Bottom line: Choose an island tub when you want cold drinks in a spot with no power and full brand real estate, especially for seasonal pushes. Keep the cooler wall for the permanent assortment.
